"What's missing in my system is bass below around 45hz."
That's a major problem with so-called high efficiency speakers. The numbers the manufacturers advertise are created by the horns, but the woofer section can't keep up. This really does a disservice to the audio community. It would be much more appropriate to pad the horns down to 95dB or so and complement them with a large bass reflex enclosure. A system like that can provide bass to 20Hz. It's sad that marketing departments dictate these designs, rather than engineers who know how to produce full-range speaker systems. I've brought home two sets of Cornwalls over the years. This speaker falls squarely in the category of sacrificing bass for numbers. Both sets got the boot after a couple weeks of listening. I can't imagine how people put up with Heresys and La Scalas. They're not suited for much more than a high schoool gym.
